II.4.36.

In case of a market participant  which is not established in Europe (for example in the USA), how should  the market participant fill in the field “VAT number” of the registration  form?

Answer: In case the market participant does not have a VAT number, it should insert in the data field ’’VAT number’’ its equivalent of the VAT number. If it does not have the VAT’s equivalent number, ‘’XXXXXXXXXX’’ (10 times X) should be entered in the registration form.
